[Verse 1]
C          Em      F
  Get food, barely eat
C                         Em         F   
  Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
C           Em    F
  I worried, even cried
Am                           Am            B     
   How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
C           Em    F
  Bad habit, even worse
C                    Em         F   
  Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
C              Em       F
  Asked for it, here it is
Am                          Am         B
   A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits
 
[Chorus]
               C                     Em F
I think you're scared of being basic
C                            Em      
   That’s ironic 'cause it's reading 
            F
like you're even more
C     Em F
  Basic
Am                            C
   It's not funny, it's so funny
             C     Em F
'Cause you're basic
             C                        
Just looking hot and keeping monotone 
    Em      F
and understated
                C           
Nothingness won’t change it 
 Em                   F
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
Am                         Am  B     
   It’s not funny, but it's so funny
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
I don’t want your money, 

I don't care for fame
C
  I don't wanna live a life 

  where that's my big exchange
C                          
  I want simple pleasures, 
  Em               F
  friends who have my back
Am                            
 Everyone has secrets, 
        Em           C
but not everyone can fool a man like that
C                                    F
  It sent me reeling, still not the same
C
  It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
C
  I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
Am                                         
  The past's the past, and I'll outlast the 
  Em                                   C
  hate to find real love that's not pre-tend
 

[Chorus]
C            Em            F
  How basic (Sell me on it)
        C                           
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, 
         Em                 F
ditching chats in different apps
      C            Em F
That's basic (Haha)
Am                           Bm
  It's not funny, it's so funny
            C                  Em        F
That's just basic being basic   (Basically)
C                                Em             F
  You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
            C        Em F
I guess I'll take it
Am                               Bm
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
 

[Bridge]
C
Change your body, change your face,
Em             F
curl your hair then make it straight
C                             Em     F
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
C                      Em        F
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
Am
   It's a flash photograph
 
[Outro]
Am         Em          C
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Em         F          C
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Em         F          
What an empty epitaph 
             C
(That's just basic being basic)
      Em             F
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
Am               N.C.
If that's funny, I'm not funny
